Dave,
I¡¯m not sure from your note as to where Monitoring is done, JMRI or NCE.
I saw this in the link you provided:
MONITORINGDefault for LocoNet and XPressNet turnouts, this means the network is monitored for messages about the status of the turnout. This mode is only available for certain protocols, i.e. some protocols can't do the monitoring properly, and don't have this choice.?
If selected for the NCE Powerhouse Pro (only), it will monitor the last known state change of this turnout made by the command station (on request from a cab, macro, JMRI or Mini Panel).
My DCC command station is the NCE PH Pro 5 amp system not the NCE Powerhouse Pro, so does that mean I don¡¯t have the?capability to monitor the turnouts thrown from the Hammerhead throttle?
I just looked through my NCE Owners Manual and did not find anything about Monitoring.

I have a JMRI Panel set up to control the layout and monitor occupancy via locoNet. ?If I click on a turnout on my computer to throw a switch, the position on the panel is always consistent with the turnout. ?My DCC system is NCE, and stationary decoders for tortoise machines are NCE SwitchIt and Switch8 decoders. ?If someone using their throttle throws a switch or if they use a layout/fascia push button to change the orientation of the switch it does not show the change on the panel. ?Is there a way to manage this other than adding AIU boards for feedback?
If you have an NCE Power Pro system, you can set Turnout Feedback Mode to MONITORING and your JMRI panel will be updated by NCE throttle or Mini Panel commands.
Unfortunately the NCE Power Pro and hence JMRI cannot directly monitor local pushbuttons connected directly to DCC accessory decoders. For that case, You need to use the Tortoise contacts and an AIU.
